Exam 7: Learning and Bahaviour Analysis

In the experiment with Little Albert,the unconditioned stimulus was _______.

The process of presenting the conditioned stimulus alone so often that the learner no longer associates it with the unconditioned stimulus and stops making the conditioned response is called _______.

The process of learning to respond only to a single specific object or event is called _________ .

Repeatedly presenting a CS by itself will result in:

A positive reinforcer is a stimulus that is ________ and thus ________ the probability of a response.

One of the best-known examples of classical conditioning in humans was the Little Albert study,conducted by _______.

On a variable-interval schedule,reinforcement is given _______.

At the National Zoological Park in Washington,D.C.,a polar bear suffered a broken tooth,and keepers needed a safe way to treat the problem.The bear was rewarded first for sticking its nose through a slot in the cage door,then for allowing a keeper to lift its lip and touch its teeth.Finally,a veterinarian was able to treat the damaged tooth while the bear waited placidly for its familiar reward.This is an example of _______.

In the experiment with Little Albert,the conditioned stimulus was __________.

How does one know he/she has classically conditioned a person or an animal?

Instinctive or involuntary behaviour would probably be BEST modified by ___________ .

Training a rat to push a lever to escape from an electric shock is an example of:

Classical conditioning:

On a fixed-ratio schedule,reinforcement is given ________ .

The person most directly associated with operant conditioning is ______.

Of the four basic elements of classical conditioning,the one the organism learns to respond to is the:

Bobby and Sue were parked at Lover's Lane.When Bobby kissed Sue,his breathing accelerated.Sue always wore Chanel No.5 when she went out with Bobby.Bobby's faster breathing rate when he smells Chanel No.5 is the:

Most young children put their hands over their ears when they hear the loud boom of firecrackers at a Canada Day festival,but at first pay scant attention to the person lighting the firecrackers.However,after just a few firecrackers have been exploded,some of the children put their hands over their ears as soon as they see the person approach the firecracker with a match! What is the unconditioned response?

Changing behaviour through the reinforcement of partial responses is called _______.

When someone uses negative reinforcement to change a behaviour,the behaviour is likely to __________ .
